congratulation Omid

Hope you will soon find a solution for recognizing instaces and solution for those distorsion near cut edges.

That is indeed an incredible achievement.
Amazing job well done Man.
Looking forward for someone to start making Luxcore 3dsmax tutorial.

Thank you, patro. you find any issues just report it, I'm trying to update GitHub and other related sites.
FYI, I'm working on creating a node-based UI view so I can implement a simple compositor and light group mixer.
But it will not be soon, there are many things left to implement, and adding New VFB buffer is not that easy.
You will find updated sample scenes and brand new sample scenes on weekend.

Thank you Sharlybg, I'm on it but there is no time left for me to do any more stuff.
I barely have time to sleep.
I need to introduce the LuxCore and MaxLuxCore in a few CG forums so i can attract more people to it, of course, a few good tutorials will be a good part of this plan too.

Awesome, finally. is there a place so we can help the project. We have a few request that we can pay for it to make it happen faster.
